The County of MOUNTAIN VIEW and the Municipal District of ROCKY VIEW encompass an area which is approximately bordered on the north by highway 27 (6 miles north), on the west about 12 miles west of highway 22, on the southwest by the Elbow River, in the south central area by the city of Calgary, in the southeast by the Bow River, in the east (Rocky View) along a line 6 miles east of highway 26, in the east of (Mountain View) by Range Road 2506. The County of Red Deer is to the north, the M.D. of Knee Hill and the County of Wheatland are on the east side, the M.D. of and the Sarcee Indian Reservation are our neighbors to the south, The Stoney Indian Reservation and local Improvement Districts 8, 10, 50 are between our district and the Rocky Mountains. The Local Improvement Districts are included in our area for ALBERTA GEDCOM. The settlement in this area began just over 100 years ago with the central area (Carstairs - Crossfield) mostly homesteaded about 1905.
Most cemeteries in this area have been indexed and can be searched for any requested names. The Alberta Genealogical Society have a CD listing many of the people buried in Alberta. Any names I can not find in this area will be forwarded to the Alberta Genealogical Society and the Alberta Family Histories Society.
All publications and lists from Carstairs and surrounding area are being indexed. I can search the master index for names in the central area of this GEDCOM district. Many of the names were taken from the Carstairs newspapers starting in 1905, these early newspapers covered the area from Watervalley to Carbon and from Airdrie to Olds.
I have over 100 Alberta history books that I can search for information on your family. I have listed the one in this area of the province. I am always looking for more books to add to my collection.
